“When my anxious thoughts are many, Your comfort delights my soul.”
It’s been a rough couple of weeks, literally everywhere. I’m sure I’m not alone with anxious thoughts. Thank God for his steady, faithful presence and his unchanging comfort.
I set up this design as a free phone wallpaper, and you can get it when you sign up for my email list. If you are on the email list, you’ll get the wallpaper in an email later today.
I can hardly believe that it’s already 2022, but here we are! 2021 was full of ups and downs and so many amazing new experiences for our family and for my business, and I can only imagine what the next year will bring.
And speaking of this next year, I’m excited to share something new that I’ll be posting both here on the blog and on Insta/Facebook. It’s called No Fear Friday, and will include encouraging words from Scripture. The first verse, which I actually posted on insta/Facebook yesterday, is one I’m going to hold onto and meditate on for the entirety of 2022. My personal focus, and the focus of Delight Design as well, will be sharing God’s promises, with thankfulness, and remembering we don’t need to have fear, regardless of our circumstances.
It might sound a little simplistic or trite, but after the last couple of years in our world, I don’t think focusing on “no fear” is all that easy! And covid and politics aside, life… is hard. And scary sometimes. And overwhelming and a whole host of crummy things. I find myself sometimes living moment by moment, trying not to be afraid or anxious. So, I truly hope No Fear Friday will be a blessing to you, but I’ll be doing it for me too! Because I for sure need weekly reminders!
So, here’s this week’s image! I made designs using two different versions, as one is a little easier to read.
I also made a free phone wallpaper for you, in case you’d like a daily (hourly, minute-ly) reminder of the scripture on your phone. You can click to get the full image, then right-click and download to use on your phone.
So, Happy New Year, and God’s blessings as we enter 2022!
Give all your cares to the Lord and He will give you strength.
He will never let those who are right with Him be shaken.
Psalm 55:22
This week’s No Fear Friday scripture is such a simple, but powerful one. Our strength comes from God. He gives us what we need, when we turn over our cares and troubles. I like the small but important word “all“. Give ALL your cares to Him. Not some of them. ALL. For a type A, first born, high achiever this one is a hard one for me. I keep thinking I can fix things in own strength. And that would be a hard NOPE. I can’t. Thankfully God says, “give it to me, I’ve got it”.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
It’s not been the most peaceful week, anywhere.
But God promises… Jesus promises… we can have peace. HIS peace. He left it here for us, he gives it to us when we need it. And the peace is for always. It’s not a one-time gift or something that can be taken away. We don’t have to be worried or afraid because HIS PEACE is with us and in us.
It sounds easy. And in some ways it is. For me, it’s about focusing. Meditating. Remembering. I can’t create peace within myself on my own. But I can have HIS PEACE.
And I can have no fear.

The Lord is my ROCK, my FORTRESS and my DELIVERER; my God is my ROCK in whom I take refuge, my SHIELD and the horn of my salvation, my STRONGHOLD. Psalm 18:2
I don’t know about you, but one of my deepest needs is to to be cared for. And not just cared for…but protected, covered, not left alone to flounder. Today’s No Fear Friday scripture is exactly what I need to remember in those moments when I feel alone, feel afraid, feel anxious about what’s happening…or not happening. God is our rock, our fortress, our deliverer, our refuge, our shield, our salvation and our stronghold. Thank you God for being ALL that we need in our moments of fear and weakness.
I made another phone background to go with this scripture. I was amazed and so thankful through the week to have last week’s scripture right in front of me every time I unlocked my phone. I may be alone in this, but I unlock my phone to look at something about a hundred (or two) times a day, so that’s a LOT of quick reminders of God’s word, right there at my fingertips.

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7
I love when the Bible echoes itself and makes SURE we understand. A couple of weeks ago, the verse was from Psalms, and it mirrored this one. “Give all your cares to the Lord…” “Cast all your anxiety on him…”
I think God’s message is pretty clear. He wants us to give it ALL to him.
“…and he will give you strength” “…because he cares for you”. He will carry us and he loves us. It’s hard to argue (not that we would?), when we realize how much He wants us to GET this.
So, today’s focus? Casting it ALL at Jesus’ feet and letting him love me through whatever is causing fear, anxiety, stress, turmoil. It’s all ON HIM, not me.
As always, if you would like this week’s verse for your phone wallpaper, I’ve designed the graphic. I set it up as a free download when you sign up for my email list (that I’m really trying to get going again… hello New Year’s resolutions!) You can sign up below to be added to email list and get the download!
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.
Be strong. Be courageous. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be discouraged.
Why?
Because the Lord God will be with you wherever you go.
Wherever. Whenever. Always.
He starts with the commands, and tells you why it’s easy to obey it.
So, be strong. Be courageous. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be discouraged.
He’s WITH you. Wherever.
